Access program running without Access software.

If I developed an Access program, how do I sell it to a customer who does not
have Access software? Example: At work we use a software program called
Turbo Law. The program contains an Access database. The attorneys that use
the program do not have Access software on their computers.
Is there a licensing procedure?

The program you have at work may simply use the Access database to store the
data, but not use any of Access's "front end" tools - forms, reports, code
modules, etc.
Many other programs can read the "Access" (actually Jet) format and use it -
to do this, you need only MDAC (which is a part of most operating
systems), not a full copy of Access.

Your Turbo Law program may have been written in VB, C, or any of a number of
other languages.
